The workshop seeks to equip PhD and MSc students and undergraduate students (advanced level) with the fundamental skills to use Python in a research context. The course is intended for learners who have not yet worked with Python and covers both a general introduction as well as more advanced approaches on data retrieval and processing.
After first reviewing the basics of Python, especially how to set up the development environment and how to implement simple tasks, we focus on tools commonly utilised by researchers (e.g., NumPy, Pandas and Matplotlib). The workshop is comprised of a combination of guided introductions and more independent in-depth exploration. Thus, students have the opportunity to apply the learned concepts to a relevant case study chosen for their scientific breadth and their coverage of different Python features.
We place particular focus on the use of online resources such as the documentation of the utilised Python packages to equip students with the ability to independently handle even more complex issues that are beyond the scope of this workshop.
When?
From 22 to 26 July 2024.

This Training academy aims to provide students and professionals from different fields with the technical and scientific skills to analyse, model and extract knowledge from data in a variety of business contexts, using the KNIME Analytics platform. With a strong practical approach, the program is designed to present, discuss, and constructively apply classical and state-of-the-art approaches for descriptive and predictive analytics as well as for time series analysis and forecasting. Throughout the program, the participants are exposed to real world case studies, with varying degrees of complexity, for which they are challenged to develop, test, and evaluate analytical models able to extract useful knowledge and actionable insights from the data.
The main learning outcome is to enable students to gain proficiency in using KNIME as a white-box tool for modelling and implementing transparent and reproducible data workflows in an automatic fashion, towards proactive, data-driven decision-making.
